string manipulation - remove all non #'s

[Zych]

Is there an easy way to remove all non numbers from a string? For example if I have the string "12ed-1234" I would like to get only "121234". In reality the only character that the string can have that is non numeric would be "-" because of a javascript validation I am running. I could remove the "-" but I don't really want to do that at that time. Basically it is asking people to enter there membership ID which is xxxx-xxxx where the x's are numbers 0-9. Some people might include the "-" but some may not. Therefore for comparison I would like to remove it after it is submitted.

Thanks,

Zych

That is a dangerous assumption. There's someone who has their javascript turned off and send you all kinds of characters. Do not rely solely on client side validation.

Thanks. It is working well (at least if javascript is running). As long as I only have numbers though I am OK.
